WillaKenzie's oldest Pinot Gris vines are almost 15 years of age, and their estate bottling seems to gain in weight and power with each passing year. Chewy and substantial, layered and meaty, it's a succulent fruit salad; hints of pear and peach, mango and papaya, grapefruit and pineapple. The wine is beautifully proportioned and its richness is never heavy or fat. Paul Gregutt

What Is Blind Tasting?

All tastings reported in the Buying Guide are performed blind. Typically, products are tasted in peer-group flights of from 5-8 samples. Reviewers may know general information about a flight to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. When possible, products considered flawed or uncustomary are retasted.
